Questions

My wife has an iPhone. I setup auto-import of photos and videos to Lightroom mobile, but it's grabbing ALL photos that show up the device, including things people send in WhatsApp, for example. I don't want that. I just want photos actually taken by the device. Any way to do that? Otherwise, we get tons of duplicates and unwanted photos. My Samsung S23U Android photo seems to have more nuanced control over this. Is there any way to control this better on iPhone?

Please help. I upload photos to either Macbook OR iPad, but they are not syncing and I seem to have edit everything twice.my iPad syncing is stuck on 'syncing 35 items' (which it isn't).My Macbook says it's all synced and backed up, but it isn't, there are hundreds of edits it hasn't uploaded.I have looked on Lightrooom Web and it tells me that there are two photos that are stuck on my iPad, and I have to deal with them there.  But those photos aren't there and I don't think have been for a while (nor are they on the Macbook version). Meanwhile it seems largely impossible to delete any photos on the ipad - I can ask it to multiple times, but it simply doesn't delete them, they just stay there. I can delete them on the Macbook, usually, but not on the ipad.I did have a few wifi issues recently, but these have now been sorted out.I have updated my Macbook software today but that didn't seem to help.The lack of syncing between my two computers is exceptionally frustrating. 

Is there a way to create masks by selecting say the background for a mask and the people in the image for another mask for multiple images? For context, I am editing a couple photoshoot I did and I am trying to create 2 separate masks on each image. One mask for the background and one mask for both people. I wanted to see if there was a way to create those two masks on every image at once. It is just very time-consuming to go into every single image and individually create masks for both the background and people. I know that you can create a mask on one image and copy and paste it on another image and then you have to recompute the AI, but I always end up having problems with it miscomputing and I just have to end up reselecting the mask from the menu for each image after all.

HELP... Lightroom updated and I've lost all my presets and photos.  I now have a pages full of edititorials I can't get out of!   (Thread title edited by Moderator)

почему в lightroom показывает, что нет мечта в облачном хранилище. но в облаке очень много места. Как исправить ошибку?

I have noticed that if I type, for example, lens: into Lightroom's search box the colon triggers Lr into listing lenses that are stored in my metadata. If I use the word type: I am prompted to select from HDR,  Panorama, Raw, Photo or Video. Are there many other words that followed by a colon that can be used in this way to modify a search term? I am keen to search by dates. if I want to group all photos taken over the years in the month of May, all pictures taken on 25th December. I have tried typing date:25/12 etc but haven't really got anywhere.  

Hola. Tengo problemas con la activación de todos los programas ya que me avisa de que no puedo adquirir una nueva licencia. Puede ser porque tuve una licencia con otro administrador que ya no mantengo, por lo que he comprado una nueva pero parece ser que me detecta la antigua y no me permite trabajar con ningun programa.¿Alguien sabe como podría acceder a mi nuevo servicio de pago? Ya lo he probado todo...Gracias.

Hi! I have my Lightroom cloud currently synced to an old Lightroom Classic catalog that I've lost access to. Within LR cloud, I have a number of "synced" albums for which of course I can only download the Smart Previews and can't access ful-res copies. What I'm trying to do is recover the editing work I've done on those albums to try and re-apply the settings back to the original photos (which I still have access to) in Lightroom Classic. Is there any way to do this? It looks like my edits have been saved/imported as I can further edit the photos in Lightroom cloud, but I'm obviously hoping I don't have to go 1-by-1 and re-edit them to get full-res copies of the photos. 🙂Any way to do this? Thanks in advance!

I hate the new 9 version on iOS. Is there a way to get back the 8.x version ? 

I'm new to LR and learning LR CC on my desktop. I am not able to find the way to make a virtual copy, even after right-clicking on the image in the Develop step. Is this feature only available when editing RAW files? My work-around has been to make duplicates. But that's not ideal. Any help would be appreciated?  

I think on iOS there should be an option to save a photo you take, I mean it's would be great if they let you save the photo directly from the app instead of screenshotting it 

Does deleting photos from Lightroom App erase the original photos from the Camera Roll?

Using the mobile app on a OnePlus 11. Took some photos and went to edit them and the app automatically smooths out almost all the details.  It's some photos of my car and the road has no texture to it, I can't find any settings I may have accidentally turned on, and the app never did this before. Video: first photo I have started editing, second photo I have not touched.

I am trying to migrate from Lightroom 5 (via a Lightroom 6 trial) to the cloud based Lightroom. When doing so, I get a confirmation that the migration was succesful, but unfortunatly, none of the photos show up in the library.   I tried multiple times (by recreating the libraries through ligtroom 5 and then 6), unfortunatly without a result (every time). I work on a Windows-PC.   Anyone experienced the same/has a solution?   A copy of the log file below, attached a printscreen of the confirmation in Lightroom and the resulting library.     ******************************* MIGRATION SUMMARY ******************************* STATUS : [ COMPLETED with NOTIFICATIONS ] Source Catalog : *****\2022_V5-2.lrcat Assets from Catalog : 2496 Assets Migrated to Lightroom : 0 Number of Collections Migrated : Migrate-able( 1 ) After Migration( 3 ) Number of Stacks Migrated : 0 of 0 Number of Stack Assets Migrated : 0 of 0 Number of Virtual

Lightroom CC v3.3 for iOS and v3.5 for Android are now available.

Hi, when I enter the application and select a photo from my gallery to edit, the application closes. Thank you for your help 

I took about 400 sets of 3 bracketed exposures of the eclipse last week (so 1200 total images) using my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, in RAW.  However, when I attempt to do an HDR merge on any of the sets of 3 (and I've even tried narrowing it down to 2 images at a time), I only get the message "Unable to merge the selected photos.  Not enough matching imagery to merge".  While I haven't tried all 400 sets, I've tried over a dozen sets and always get the same message.  Photos were taken on a tripod, using a solar filter (until totality that is), with +/- 2 stops of exposure difference taken about one second apart (or less).  Unfortunately I can't attach examples as they are all over 50MB in size.  These sets of images should be tailor-made for HDR merge yet LR is saying there is not enough of an image match.  Really scratching my head on this one, hoping someone can help.   I'm using v. 7.2 of the cloud version of LightRoom, on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1.&

On a PC Win 10 Pro using Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. Displaying to my TV via HDMI at 4K.   If I dare to turn on the GPU in Lightroom preferences, UI performance becomes impossible. Pop-ups will half-appear. I can click on a button and nothing will happen for tens of seconds. Drop down menus will flicker.   I'm unsure what might be the problem. I'm not overclocking or otherwise doing anything strange. I worked with an Adobe tech but once they saw that disabling the GPU fixed the issues, they pushed back and said my system is to blame. Except I can play games without issue.   I'd live without the GPU except then I can't use HDR.   Thanks! -- Ethan  

Since updating to the latest version, v9.2.2, on Android, I've been encountering issues with the app. It gets stuck at "Preparing your cloud storage," failing to complete the process and sync properly. Additionally, whenever I restart the app, photos and presets vanish, forcing me to start from scratch each time.Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve these frustrating problems?

Im using lightroom classic with lighroom amd photoshop 10$ monthly subscription, i do photography as a hobby, since last two years im not doing much of a photography and doing more video, considering that the account is useless, I have around 11000 pictures in classic and have synced around 700 with lighroom to edit on the go, since last year instead of editing on classic im directly importing in lightoom for ipad or iphone and editing there, having limitations of 20GB i looked for in app purchase which allow 20$ for year and 40GB, this seems perfect for me I signed up, and kept my old account as well, what i did I shared all my albums which I created in lightroom with old account and downloaded in new lightroom mobile account, there is a problem, this way I can't get the edits only esited version, but when i see in shared section incan see the edits but when I save them in my library then all the editing steps goes away, what is the best way to have these photos with editing 

Hi. Help needed please. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 to edit. Apart from the app being slow and 'clunky', I constantly keep getting a message 'Lightroom is not responding', the screen then freezes and I have to close the whole thing down, unless I hit the 'wait' option then it let's me carry on for a few seconds then comes up again! LR version is v9.2.2. and the software is up to date on my tablet with 5.2gb of storage available. I regularly clear the app cache which is of little or no help and I have unjnstalled powered off and re-installed more times that I care to remember. The editing process is taking so long it's becoming unworkable. Over to you people of Adobe.

i have problems with masking subject.Got a massage something went wrong.

When I attempt to export my finalized photo edit in Lightroom (Lr), I encounter a message stating 'HDR is not visible in this preview' (though I'm uncertain if this is related to the issue). Additionally, upon exporting the photo, as evidenced by the attachment, it appears to have lost its vibrance. How can I ensure that the exported photo maintains the same appearance as in the editing view?  

i'm editing junior photos on lightroom on my phone, i noticed whenever i click on specific images the app makes the pictures look worse. i've tried swiping out of the app and resetting it. it's getting my aggravated because it gives me something harder to edit. someone please tell me how to fix this!
